Answer:
a. Biomagnification
Explanation:
Biomagnification is the name given to the progressive accumulation of substances from one trophic level to another along a food chain. Thus, the substance will have its highest concentration in individuals who occupy trophic levels furthest from producers.
For biomagnification to occur, substances must be fat soluble (lipid soluble) and thus adhere to living tissues. Another feature of substances that undergo biomagnification is that they are generally not biodegradable or metabolized by the body.
The phenomenon is quite common with heavy metals (lead; mercury) and certain chlorinated and aromatic organic compounds with higher molecular mass, such as the insecticide DDT.
Answer:
The cells wouldn't be able to photosynthesize
Explanation:
Chloroplasts absorb light energy, enabling photosynthesis. if they are damaged then the plant can't get light energy.
Answer:
Reduced penetrance or incomplete penetrance
Explanation:
Penetrance refers to the extend which a certain gene or set of genes is expressed in a population.
It can be complete where there is expression of the gene in a population having it.
Whereas, in reduced penetrance is where the mutation is not expressed in every individual in the population having it.
For instance polydactyly exhibits reduced penetrance since the parents had the mutation it was not expressed it came to be expressed on their pedigree.
Answer:
Descent with modification
Explanation:
We define evolution as descent with modification from a common ancestor.
Evolution only occurs when there is a change in gene frequency within a population over time. These genetic differences are hereditary and can be passed on to the next generation - which is what really matters in evolution: long-term change. In this process, the new generations are better suited to their environment than the first generation because of descent with genetic modification.
